Shy folks: why not just tell people you are that way? (how to, women)

[Gudra]

This isn't to bash those shy,reserved people out there but why not just come out and say you are bashful,etc ? I hear laments about everyone thinking they were stuck up,unfriendly, anti-men/women. Please, the others' aren't mindreaders plus we don't wish to disturb you should you happen not to like us

Because most have already come to the conclusion that we are stuck up/snobby/want to be left alone.

What Shaolin said. I also don't see why we ought to admit it to people like we're telling them we have an STD or a terminal illness. It's one of many normal personalities, nothing more and nothing less.

[Gudra]

findinghope, just write it down on a piece of paper, then

That could be true but not everyone thinks that way.

Or better yet feeling that others don't want to be bothered with us.

Nobody said it was like an illness. I mean, I am terrible at directions so let my companions know upfront before I get them lost.So no aggro about why I didn't know how to navigate properly.
